Saturday Song 2/18/12

Saturday Song is a weekly feature where I share a song that is meaningful, touching or useful to me. I’m a music lover, always looking for great new artist. So please share what you’re listening to with our community here. I want to know what you’re listening to, so I can discover what I should be listening to. Maybe one of your favorites can become a “Saturday Song.”

==================================

Talking with one of the smartest college students I’ve known today, I was brought back to this song. Mumford & Sons, The Cave was the refrain at ACU’s High School camp, Kadesh.

What song has been speaking to you?

About Sean

I am the Lead Minister of The Vine Church in Temple, TX. As Lead Minister, I oversee the teaching and preaching ministry and coordinate the vision and mission of The Vine. I am a contributing writer to The Voice Bible Project and author of "Scandalous: Lessons in Redemption From Unlikely Women," and speaker. I married my best friend, Rochelle Stripling Palmer, and we lovingly parent two incredible daughters.

Came to hear Mumford and Sons, because of my love of Laura Marling’s music and her and Marcus Mumford dated and he played on her first two albums. Hope their sophomore release matches up.

Can anything good come out of Bakersfield? Well, my favorite release this week (and there were many of them: Shearwater, Punch Brothers, Heartless Bastards, etc.) is Bakersfield’s own Gregory Porter and his 2nd album Be Good. Man if you love Jazz Standards and I love Jazz Standards this guy just nails them. He won a Grammy with his first release and this one has been played probably 6 times through since Tuesday.

This week I’ve been listening to Sufjan Stevens’ Seven Swans. Not new, but fantastic imagery. I cannot recommend this album highly enough.

Re: Mumford & Sons’ sophomore album: there are some great live recordings of some of their new songs on YouTube. These have only heightened my expectations.

"...what makes Sean a man to watch is that he is dangerous. Sean is unafraid to speak the truth. He'll speak it in love, but he will not pull punches." - Christian Standard Magazine

About The Palmer Perspective

Jesus "destroyed the dividing wall of hostility" between people. In the image of God, all humanity has been created - all races, colors, ideologies, and perspectives. Following Jesus, we no longer "see anyone from a worldly point of view."

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "...the end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the beloved community. It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opposers into friends."
